| Sunday 2 Jun | Venue | Time | Price |  | Roni Stoneman (Vocals/Banjo) with Hugh Taggart (guitar) and John Denby (mandolin)
Veronica Loretta 'Roni' Stoneman, 'First Lady of Banjo'. In her teens, she became the first recorded woman bluegrass banjo-player, on the first-ever bluegrass LP. Later, Roni was a core member of the cast in the country music/comedy US TV series 'Hee Haw', and joined the Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame in 1979. On the first visit to Ireland in her long and full career, Roni remains an impressive musician and an exuberant performer. She is joined on stage by Hugh Taggart (guitar) and John Denby (mandolin), two of the most dynamic and accomplished young players emerging on the bluegrass scene in Ireland. | The Purty Loft | 8.30pm start | €13 (€10) | | Wednesday 5 Jun | Venue | Time | Price | | Tumbling Bones
Tumbling Bones play a mix of old-time country and old-fashioned blues that belies their relative youth. But their folk music is no museum piece. It is living, breathing music infused with a little of the contemporary rock ‘n’ roll the band members were reared on and reworked into their original arrangements and compositions. The last half decade has taken them from street-performing on European street corners to venues across the continental United States to an acclaimed performance on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. | Whelans Upstairs,Wexford St. Dublin.2. | 8.30 start. | €15 (€13) | | Saturday 8 Jun | Venue | Time | Price | | Folk The Recession
